Question by my_therapist_took_my_powers_away: How do you Make a cheerleading Spirit Stick?
I have went on line and looked it up, but I can’t find anything really that will help me.. I have looked on photo-bucket and other places to see if I could get some ideas on what they look like and how to make one.
But so far no luck. She is needing it for Cheerleading.
I was hoping y’all could give me some help on this one.
Thanks!!

start with a “blank” spirit stick with no design on it. you can buy that from amazon.com (the link is under sources).
use hot glue and different craft objects you would find at joanns(2nd link) or any other arts and craft store.
pick out your teams color and be creative with it. you can add your teams name with the team color and some glitter and make it that simple. you can also look through scrapbooks to get some ideas.
good luck

Using a clean Pringles chip can…spray paint the outside one of your team colors.
Use ribbon, both thick, thin or wired, to wrap around the can, decorating with glitter glue (emblems like a bear paw for Bears, for example), use stickers, metallic pens, or anything you can think of pertaining to your team. Stuff the inside with candy, maybe a bead keychain (keeping costs down-you can make these yourself), and print out ‘Official Cheerleader’ ID cards you can make on a computer using Word or some other simple program.
You can find images online for the ID cards, glue the wallet-sized ones to colored paper or card stock, trip with fancy scissors…and ta-da. If you want to get fancier, laminate or use clear contact paper and make real ID cards. Make sure the girls can sign them if they want to though.
Just an idea. We pass these around every week to the girl showing the most spirit at practice for the week. Each girl will get it at least once so as to no hard feelings, but they are REALLY trying to win it each time. Has made for better practices.
